Pros
Comprehensive, structured training — DaVita provides a thorough onboarding and dialysis-specific training program that supports nurses transitioning into hemodialysis, including hands-on preceptorship and ongoing education, helping RNs feel confident and competent even without prior dialysis experience.
Cons
Lower starting pay compared to acute care settings — Some RNs report that the pay rate at DaVita can be lower than hospital-based roles, particularly when factoring in the specialized skill set and workload required in outpatient dialysis.
